''1 spent a day in Glasgow" said
woman physician Just returned from
Europe, '.for the express purpose of get
ting peep into the Maternity hospital
there. They are making experiments,
you know, in raising babies by steam
babies prematurely born that would stand
no chance of life under ordinary treat
ment went $50 miles out of my way
for a look into that steam baby box, and
had it. There was one child under
treatment when 1 got there, tiny thing
that seemed hardly human. 1t lay in
bed of cotton wool in the upper compart-
ment of an incubator especially arranged
for the purpose. There were hot water
bottles in the lower part of the box and
thermometer hanging at the side to regu-
late the heat. There lay the baby in an
atmosphere of steam. The physicians in
charge said it was perceptibly growing
and would probably live. That's nine
teenth century civilization for you.''-

Modern Manners.
Editor of the Gazette

To the Editor of the Gazette:
1t NAV be all right, it must be all right,
or so many modest, nice people would not
adopt it.
But how it can have the sanction of
members of the various churches, who
| frown upon the modern dance, is more
| than I can understand.
If it is wrong, indicate and unbecom-
ing, as it is in the eyes of strict church
| people, to grasp your best girl about the
waist and swing her to the music Of
the dance, how can they countenance
the practice now prevailing of gentlemen
| Juggling the ladies through the streets by
their arms. The sight is very common
one, and l must confess that it appears to
have the approval of all parties to the
transaction, for if the ladies objected to
being hustled about like culprits in the
custody of the police, it surely would not
be done. If the girls permit it the boys
will clutch them by the arm, and all the
protests from an old fogy like myself
Will avail nothing. Nevertheless it
is radical departure from
the time honored custom of gentleman
rendering their arm for the support and
protection of the ladies, and there are
many old time practices that cannot be
improved upon, and this is one of them.
What is more courteous and chivalrous
than the act of profering assistance to
the ladies?
If the young men of to-day when they
fasten their fingers about the arm of a
pretty girl have any thought Of helpipg
her, their manner does not indicate s{Ssand
though they might declare lt,no oaeeould
consistently give them credencss
Why, they parade up and down the streets
moonlight nights, aye, in broad day liglss
too, with their arms about those Of 5ye1zf
daughters, and with manner that Is ex-
asperating to an old codger like myself,
and which the young rascals should rue
if the girls belonged TO me.
Now this may be trlfing matter, and
unworthy consideration, but ! tell you

Wool Trade Moving West

Special TO the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, May I4.-WacO's wool
trade is fast dropping off, and the
towns in the west are picking it up.
There is a good reason for this. The
lands in Central Texas are too val
u8ble on which to pasture sheep, and
consequently the sheepmen are COM
PEELED to move farther west and north
west. Two years ago Waco buyers han
died one and one-quarter million pounds
Of wool, AMI the same year something
over $4,000 bales of cotton were re-
ceived. Last year the wool receipts were
about 100000 pounds, and the cotton
receipts something over 10000 bales.
This year the wool receipts Will
hardly reach one million pounds, al
though prices are better IMAM
they have been in two years
before. With any kind of q season
the congresses in Waco will handle
nearly or quite 10000 bales Of cotton.
From a reliable source THE GAZETTE re-
porter is informed that fully 80 per cent.
more cotton has been planted in McLen-
nan and adjoining counties than last year.

GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE stock market
was an usual one. Saturday was much
duller than on the preceding days, and
Notwithstanding the firm undertOne was
rather heavy throughout most of the day
under the expectation OF an unfavorable
bank statement. The sentiment among
traders in the forenoon was bearish, and
the realizations from that source sagged
prices off during the forenoon. After the
issue of the statement, however, and
the decrease in the surplus reserve was
found to be merely nominal,
there was an effort to get back
the stocks put out in the morning,
and the general tone of the market under
went marked improvement. The fuc-
tuations in the general list were in but
few cases of Importance, the more marked
advances or declines occurring in the
active stock, and Union Pacific led the
list in point of activity. 1t fiuCtuated but
s per cent. The opening was firm and
active, but prices receded Immediately,
the declines ranging up to ! per
cent. Upon g rally the market be-
came dull, and soon became again
heavy. In the afternoon, however,
there was an increased trading
accompanied by tirrner tone in the gen
eral list, and marKed strength in g few
specialties. There was some sagging in
the last hour, and the. close was quiet
and rather heavy. The active list shows
irregular changes, in which declines pre-
dominate, although in few cases only are
the differences for more than fractional
amounts.
